Anybody who’s enjoyed the lovely Vernissage bar and art gallery in Zermatt will be pleased to know that its designer, Heinz Julen, has a namesake in Saas Fee – Vernissage (+41 27 958 1904), a lounge and restaurant within the large five-star Ferienart Resort and Spa. The hotel contains several other restaurants, including the excellent Cheminee (+41 27 957 2748), and Caesar Ritz (+41 27 958 1900). Restaurant La Gorge has a great sun terrace and serves delicious Rosti. We also think the Michelin-rated Fletschhorn Waldhotel is great, but it’s a long walk – stuck out in the woods to the north of town. For something special, have dinner – or lunch – at Waldhus Bodmen, a restaurant tucked away in the woods with a menagerie of pigs, rabbits, hens, and goats, to watch (through a glass wall) as you eat. Boccalino (+41 27 957 1731) and Don Ciccio (+41 27 957 4020) are good pizzerias.

Working up from where the Noddy Train stops next to the river is the Zur Muhle and it not only has great Apres Ski outside but great food inside. Although if you sit and eat outside it will be on a cosy sheepskin! The Rostis are awesome and the reindeer is amazing.
Ski Hutte further up the street sells great ribs and has a sunny terrace.
Rasto is a great Pizzeria and sells very nice Pasta.
The Steak House opposite the UBS bank was new last year and sells amazing beef and lamb steak which you cook on your own hot stone – and the fries that go with it……..MMMMM.
The Chami Stube has amongst other things, pizza with melted cheese envelopes on the corners.
Don Ciccio is a superb Italian near the UBS Bank also.
